Remote controlled studio camera system

摘要

A system for remotely controlling a camera is disclosed. The system includes five major subsystems; a first subsystem collocated with the camera; a second subsystem which serves as a gateway between the camera and the third subsystem; a third subsystem to remotely monitor the studio and control the camera; a fourth subsystem located at the destination of the video stream; and a fifth subsystem to receive and re-transmit a video control stream. This system allows the camera to be monitored and controlled by one location, while the primary video stream is transmitted to a different location. In some embodiments, the control video stream is a lower bandwidth signal than the primary video stream. Furthermore, the fifth subsystem is capable of receiving and re-transmitting control video streams from a plurality of cameras simultaneously. The second subsystem allows remote access to the first subsystem, based on approved credentials.

主权项

1. A remote controlled studio camera system, comprising:
a video source, comprising a camera and a module for creating a primary video stream and a control video stream and a network interface for simultaneously transmitting said primary video stream and said control video stream over the internet in real time, wherein said control video stream is different than said primary video stream and wherein said control video stream and said primary video stream are transmitted to different destinations; a video target, in communication with the internet, which receives said primary video stream from said video source, whereby said primary video stream is transmitted from said video source with an indication of an identity of said video target; and a computer, in communication with the internet, adapted to receive said control video stream from said video source, and comprising means of controlling said camera.
